PRP Console and Auxiliary Ports
The system console port on the PRP is a DCE RJ-45 receptacle for connecting a
data terminal, which you must configure. The console port is labeled
Console
, as
shown in
. Before connecting the console port, check your terminal’s
documentation to determine the baud rate of the terminal you plan to use.
Note
To comply with Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic
compatibility and safety, connect all console, auxiliary, Ethernet, and
BITS (PRP2) interfaces only to intrabuilding or nonexposed wiring or cabling.
The intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the shield must be grounded at both
ends.
Check your terminal’s documentation to determine the baud rate of the terminal
you plan to use. If your documentation does not specify settings use the following
terminal settings:
1.
Baud to 9600
2.
Data bits to 8
3.
Parity to no parity
4.
Stop bits to 2
The console port requires a rollover RJ-45 cable.
